  2. From where will our help come? Our help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth. Who is our keeper? The Lord is our keeper, by day and by night. How low will God protect us? God will keep our going out and our coming in from this time on and forevermore. Come and let us worship God in this Holy place and in this Holy time. Gathering Around the WORDCall to Worship (Psalm 121:1, 5, 8)

  3. Gathering Hymn# 12 “Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise” Immortal, invisible, God only wise,in light inaccessible hid from our eyes,most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient of Days,almighty, victorious, thy great name we praise.

  4. Gathering Hymn# 12 “Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise” Unresting, unhasting, and silent as light, nor wanting, nor wasting, thou rulest in might:thy justice, like mountains high soaring above;thy clouds, which are fountains of goodness and love.

  5. Gathering Hymn# 12 “Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise” To all, life thou givest, to both great and small.In all life thou livest, the true life of all.We blossom and flourish like leaves on the tree,then wither and perish; but naught changeth thee.

  6. Gathering Hymn# 12 “Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise” Thou reignest in glory; thou dwellest in light.Thine angels adore thee, all veiling their sight.All praise we would render; O help us to see'tis only the splendor of light hideth thee!

  7. Gathering Around the WORDCall to Confession We cannot earn God’s grace or favor. It comes to us, not as something owed, but as a gift freely given to us. Confident in God’s love for us, even when we are ungodly, let us confess our sins in faith before God and our neighbors.

  8. Gathering Around the WORDPrayer of Confession (in unison) Lord, you know who we are. You know everything we have done. We thirst for things that will never satisfy us. We commit ourselves to things that will never last. We worship things that will never bring salvation. Still, we offer us the gift of living water. Still, you offer us the gift of eternal life. Forgive us, O Lord, and give us this living water, so that we may never thirst again. Amen.

  9. Gathering Around the WORDDeclaration of Forgiveness (John 3:16-17)"For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life. Indeed, God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.” Believe the Good News, in Jesus Christ we are forgiven. Thanks be to God, Amen

  10. Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost; As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen, Amen. Gathering Around the WORDGloria Patri

  11. Gathering Around the WORDPassing of the Peace of Christ Beloved, let us love one another, because love is from God; everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, for God is love. Sisters and Brothers, let us pass the peace of Christ and the love of God with one another. (I John 4:7-8)

  12. Proclaiming the WORDMessage to the Youth/Prayer of Illumination

  13. Now there was a Pharisee named Nicodemus, a leader of the Jews. 2 He came to Jesus by night and said to him, "Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God; for no one can do these signs that you do apart from the presence of God." 3 Jesus answered him, "Very truly, I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God without being born from above." 4 Nicodemus said to him, "How can anyone be born after having grown old? Can one enter a second time into the mother's womb and be born?" Proclaiming the WORD Scripture Reading – John 3:1-17

  14. 5 Jesus answered, "Very truly, I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God without being born of water and Spirit. 6 What is born of the flesh is flesh, and what is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Do not be astonished that I said to you, 'You must be born from above.' 8 The wind blows where it chooses, and you hear the sound of it, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit." 9 Nicodemus said to him, "How can these things be?" 10 Jesus answered him, "Are you a teacher of Israel, and yet you do not understand these things? Proclaiming the WORD Scripture Reading – John 3:1-17

  15. 11 "Very truly, I tell you, we speak of what we know and testify to what we have seen; yet you do not receive our testimony. 12 If I have told you about earthly things and you do not believe, how can you believe if I tell you about heavenly things? 13 No one has ascended into heaven except the one who descended from heaven, the Son of Man. 14 And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, 15 that whoever believes in him may have eternal life. Proclaiming the WORD Scripture Reading – John 3:1-17

  16. 16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life. 17 "Indeed, God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Proclaiming the WORD Scripture Reading – John 3:1-17
